Gentle Jazz (independent music)

Joyce Aldrich's Gentle Jazz CD is a compilation of recordings, representative of the various styles she sings, including jazz covers, bossa nova, Cuban boleros, blues and gospel Jazz…a perfect blend.

Joyce's love of singing and sharing her music with her audience is evident in this CD, as she delivers versatile performances with her duo, trio and quintet.

The quintet is an innovative expression of Canada's musical heritage, mixed with Afro-Cuban and Latin Jazz art forms; interpreting those styles with mastery and feeling.

The Gentle Jazz repertoire reflects a wide range of styles, including Joyce's original compositional fusion of contemporary Jazz influences and Latin Jazz, using both traditional and modern melodies and rhythms. She is also influenced by gospel harmonies and Cuban standards, drawing on the work of her entire musical career.
